CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 15.-The whea.
market was In highly nervous con-
dition today. The impending fear OF
a corner In Nav delivery caused lot
Of the small "shorts" to run 10 cover,
and as a result May advanced 1sc to
S64c, which was the top price for the
day. The market eased off to 853c at
the close. The speculative offerings
were very light during the entire SEES
sion, and the advance was apparently
not urged by the Gull clique, which is
supposed to be in complete control OF
the market. Outside influences ap-
peared to have no bearing whatever
on the course Of values. The receipts
continue to be free, but storage room
Is nearly all filed, and this confirms
tie belief that O "corner" is among
the possibilities. Parties who had
bought at other points, notably st.
Louis, and sold here, were covering
freely together with an urgent call
from other parties. The aggregate re-
ceipts at twelve points were 1856 900
bushels, showinga failing of. The
export movements at the seaboard
were fair, the clearings from
three ports being $4,000 bush
els. The advance in June and
July deliveries was nearly equal to
that in May, There was a fair trade
in corn, and the feeling was firmer,
largely due to the strength In wheat.
The receipts were light, which also
tended to impa't strength to the mar
ket. Prices advanced &c, and closed
for the day &c higher than on yester-
day. OTIS were ranged &c higher
early, but reacted and closed
at about yesterdays figures. Cash
